How to Find the Right ADHD Coach for You
You also procrastinate. You’re constantly running late. Planning makes you break out in hives (figuratively). You feel like life is pulling you in a thousand directions, and you’re all over the place. You feel like you’ve yet to reach your potential, and accomplishing even small goals feels really hard. Or you’d like to advance in your career, or start your own business.
These are all challenges, obstacles and opportunities that ADHD coaches can help with. According to Bonnie Mincu, a seasoned ADHD coach, an ADHD coach is a catalyst for change. They’re able to discern the kind of solutions each client needs, and ...

Problems & Diagnoses Related to Childhood ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often does not occur alone in children and teens. Common co-occurring problems include learning disabilities, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder.
When your child or teen is affected by additional mental health concerns, these will generally be treated in conjunction with ADHD. The best treatment for your child’s or teen’s mental health concerns is through a partnership with a well-qualified and experienced mental health professional, such as a child psychologist.

The Right Way to Get Assessed and Treated for Adult ADHD
Neuroscientists refer to the brain’s process for managing time, financial and goal achievements as its executive function. Those of us with good executive function take it for granted: We organize our daily activities and interactions in an efficient manner without much mental effort. That’s hardly true for adults who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Less than a decade ago, referrals to my practice for an adult ADHD evaluation were virtually nonexistent. Professionals and the public assumed it was a child’s disorder and that these troubled children had somehow outgrown their problems by ad...

The Four Sub-Types of ADHD
Recently, I wrote a post about the four neural sub-types of depression. That classification was based on resting stage fMRI comparing depressive patients with controls; I hope someone does similar studies for other psychiatric conditions.
English: Symptoms of ADHD described by the literature (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The current post is an attempt to delineate what may come out in such a study if done for ADHD. I will be focusing on ADHD as it manifests in children, adolescents as well as adults.
I will be mostly relying on factor analytical studies of ADHD that have typically revealed 3 to 4 underlying factors.

Getting Help for Your Child with ADHD & Prognosis
Where does one turn when they fear that their child or teenage son or daughter is suffering from attention hyperactivity deficit disorder (ADHD)? Most families turn to their family physician or pediatrician for help, which is usually a good first step. Such health care professionals are usually able to make the initial assessment.
A reliable diagnosis and effective treatment of ADHD, however, is best made and carried out by a trained and experienced mental health professional who specializes in helping children and teens with attention deficit disorder. Such professionals are usually child psychologists, child psychiatris...

When Your Child’s ADHD Treatment Stops Working
Your child might be having a harder time focusing on homework. His or her grades might be slipping. Or he or she might be getting into trouble more often at school or at home.
In other words, your child’s symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be getting worse — or not getting any better.
So what do you do if treatment seems to be “wearing off”?
Foremost, communication and collaborative relationships are critical in helping your child. According to child and adolescent psychiatrist Steven G. Dickstein, MD, this includes: working together with your child’s treatment team and schoo...

Stopping the False Epidemic of Adult ADHD
The history of psychiatry is filled with fads. A diagnosis quickly gains momentum, is pushed by thought leaders, captures the imagination of clinicians, picks up widespread media attention, and soon attracts word of mouth buzz among potential patients. Rates escalate. New and exciting treatments are hyped. Miracle cures abound. And then it all comes apart. The miracle cures turn out to be much less than miraculous. The casualties of the new treatments get negative word of mouth notoriety. The excitement wears off and a few years later there is an epidemic of a new fad diagnosis, which temporarily lights up the firmament- b...

What ’ s Driving the Demand for ADHD Drugs Like Adderall
For at least the last six months, Adderall—the stimulant medication commonly used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—has been in short supply in the U.S. That seems to be in part because demand is growing as more people are diagnosed with ADHD, a condition that can make it difficult to focus, remember details, control impulses, or sit still. About 8% more people in the U.S. filled a stimulant prescription in 2021 versus 2020, according to federal data. Other studies suggest ADHD diagnoses are increasing across age groups.
Why? And is that apparent spike in diagnoses cause for concern?

For Some Women With ADHD, TikTok Is the First Place They Felt Heard
Emilie Leyes, 27, works with actors in New York to build mental resilience and manage work stress. When she started scrolling through TikToks about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), it was because she wanted to learn more about people with ADHD—so that she could better help clients who had the condition.
Leyes quickly discovered, though, that she identified strongly with the people in these videos.
“I truly had no idea I had ADHD until I joined TikTok,” she says.
Leyes is one of many women to conclude that they have ADHD after spending time on the platform. The ADHD hashtag o...
